Funny Mistborn era 2 story. We met Sanderson when I worked the Towers of Midnight book tour. During the meet and great for the volunteers, Sanderson asked me about our kids. He really liked our oldest child’s name, well commented that it was a good name at least. Fast forward to Alloy of Law release. There’s my son’s name in the first chapter (I think it’s the first chapter...). Anyway. He’s a bad guy who dies right away. Lol In no way can I say Sanderson intentionally used Donal’s name... but it’s there. 😄

Oh, it's happening. The problem was that this channel launched off of my Wheel of Time project and I just kind of focused on that and First Law at first. I always had plans to do more Sanderson stuff and then Witcher cut in line. But 2020 is going to be the year of Lord Ruler by the end of it here.

You're going to love that story. I actually only read the free online version before final edits, so I should read the real book sometime! And if you want an amazing Lord of the Rings, buy the Alan Lee illustrated hardcover box set. I have it and it is amazing. I'd say it's the equivalent to this, minus the leather.

This sounds more accurate. I think I took it as him saying it would be $250 and then there would be 2 volumes. $250 total sounds way more feasible.
@shastatastic4 жыл бұрын
2 volumes means the price will be doubles. So Sanderson is estimating $250. We’ll know more when the Kickstarter happens. But I’d plan on at least the $250
